New SAR 1 Billion Fund to Develop Workforce Housing in Saudi Arabia

Mnzil, TDG, and Capital Partners have launched a real estate fund to invest SAR 1 billion in developing purpose-built housing for up to 50,000 workers across Saudi Arabia.

A consortium comprising Mnzil, The Development Group (TDG), and Capital Partners has established a real estate fund with a SAR 1 billion investment mandate. The fund aims to develop purpose-built compounds capable of accommodating up to 50,000 workers across Saudi Arabia, addressing the growing demand for quality workforce accommodation driven by the Kingdom's economic diversification under Vision 2030.

Partnership Roles

Under this initiative, Mnzil, a tech-enabled workforce housing platform, will serve as the strategic partner and exclusive operator of the housing portfolio. TDG will be responsible for site selection, design, and property development. Capital Partners will manage the fund, focusing on real estate investments in this underserved sector.

Project Scope and Timeline

Development is projected to commence in Q4 2026. The fund will target major economic and employment hubs, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Makkah, and Madinah. The selection of locations will prioritise proximity to workplaces to minimise commute times for residents.

Compounds will be designed to enhance workers' daily living experiences, featuring furnished rooms, recreational and sports facilities, communal areas, and open spaces. On-site services, including maintenance and administration, will also be provided. This integrated approach aims to establish consistent housing standards and foster long-term investment in the sector, positioning workforce housing as an institutional real estate asset class in Saudi Arabia.
